superior learning caused him to be appointed to lecture on theology to the students of the order. In 18oi he heard of the Abbe Sicard 's training of deaf-mutes in Paris, and resolved to try something similar in Italy. He began with one pupil, and had by degrees collected a small number round him, when, in 18os, Napoleon , hearing of his endeavours, ordered a convent to be given him for a school-house , and funds forsupporting twelve scholars to be taken from the convent revenues. This order was scarcely attended to till 1811, when it was renewed, and in the following year Assarotti, with a considerable number of pupils, took possession of the new school. Here he continued, with the exception of a short "interval in 1814, till his death in 1829. A pension, which had been awarded him by the king of Sardinia, he bequeathed to his scholars.
